Program Challenges

• Basement Flooding Protection: Significant investment required to manage basement flooding issues across the city.

• Long-term Financial Stability: Existing 10-year financial plan relies primarily on successive water rate increases to fund continued infrastructure investment and conform with pay-as-you-go financing strategy.

• Declining water consumption: Downward trend over the last decade, despite population growth. Anticipate base water consumption will continue to decrease by 1% each year until 2015.

• Aging Infrastructure and Capital Renewal Rates: Need to spend $600 million per year for water/wastewater treatment plants and facilities.

• Strict Regulatory Control & Oversight: Water and wastewater industry continues to experience increased legislative and regulatory reform impacting both operating and capital budgets.

Toronto Water

22

Program Challenges

• Maintaining stable operating costs: Continue to find efficiencies while ensuring legislative compliance.

• Managing the continuous increase in costs from internal and external sources: Increase in personnel costs, service providers, materials and supplies due to inflation (electricity, chemicals, parts and machinery).

• Operating Impact of Completed Capital Projects: New equipment requires additional resources.

• Ongoing service priorities: Ensuring efficient and effective response to customer service demands.

F. J. Horgan Water Treatment Plant

Humber Wastewater Treatment Plant

Program Challenges

• Forecasting & Meeting Future Growth: Condo development in the downtown core and along transit corridors

• State of Good Repair Backlog: The 2013 year-end renewal backlog was $1.6 billion reflecting 5.8 per cent of asset value.

• Extreme Weather Events: Significant investment required to manage basement flooding and Wet Weather Flow projects, most recently from the July 8, 2013 storm which exceeded a 1 in 100 year rainfall in the west end of the City

• Construction Congestion: Mitigating disruption through coordination, use of trenchless technologies

Major Initiatives:

1. Completion of major capital projects

– 40 km of watermain replacement; 45 km of structural watermain lining; 14 km of sewer replacement; 70 km of sewer rehabilitation

– R.C. Harris Water Treatment Plant Building Envelope Rehabilitation

– R. L. Clark Water Treatment Plant Mechanical Upgrades

– Completion of Milliken Pumping Station and Reservoir

– Completion of Dufferin Reservoir Extension

– Ashbridges Bay Wastewater Treatment Plant upgrades including “D” building, dewatering and digester

– Highland Creek Wastewater Treatment Plant WAS upgrades

– Humber Treatment Plant headhouse upgrades

– Completion of Coxwell Sanitary Trunk Sewer Bypass

Toronto Water

24

Work Plan

Major Initiatives:

2. Basement Flooding Protection Program – EA Studies

– EA studies for 25 of 41 basement flooding study areas have been completed; Eight EA studies will be completed in 2015

– Eight new EA studies (Areas 34-41) will begin in 2015

– Creating an additional 26 new study areas (2016-2028)

Toronto Water

25

Work Plan

Major Initiatives:

3. Water Meter Program

– 475,000 meters to be installed in all homes and businesses 2010-2015

– The WMP is currently ahead of schedule. By the end of 2014, over 450,000 (95%) of 474,000 water customers will be upgraded to new automated water meter

– The forecasted cost to complete the Neptune contract is $186 million. This is approximately $33 million below budget due to lower than expected commodity and labour prices.

– By converting flat rate customers, installing more accurate technology, and eliminating the need for staff to take manual readings, the program is estimated to realize $34.4 million in revenue recovery and operational efficiencies per year.

Toronto Water

26

Work Plan

Major Initiatives:

4. Corrosion Control Program

– As part of the City’s lead mitigation strategy, corrosion control facilities have been installed at all 4 water treatment plants; phosphate is now being added to the drinking water treatment process
